▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, the principal sum not to exceed of TWO MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
($2,000,000), or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made to
Maker pursuant to the "Business Improvements Loan" as set forth in Article 3 of
the Gaming Operations Consulting Agreement dated January 19, 2005 between the
parties for the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino (the "Gaming Consulting Agreement"),
plus interest thereon from the date of such advances, in like money, in
accordance with the following terms and provisions:
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have
the meanings given them in the Gaming Consulting Agreement.
2. Advances. Pursuant to the Gaming Consulting Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has agreed
to extend the Business Improvements Loan to Maker, such funds to be loaned in
more than one advances (each, an "Advance") as entered on the Schedule of
Advances attached hereto as Schedule A. Each Advance shall bear interest at the
Interest Rate, as described herein, from and including the date the proceeds of
such Advance are advanced (such date the "Funding Date" of such Advance) through
the date of payment.
3. Repayment; Limited Recourse Obligations. The obligation of Maker to
repay the funds advanced shall be limited to the Collateral as described in the
Gaming Consulting Agreement. Principal and interest on this Note shall be paid
in thirty-six equal monthly installments beginning on the 25th day of the first
full calendar month following twelve (12) months after the date the first
advance is provided by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Maturity Date"), which payments shall be
adjusted from time to time as necessary to fully repay all principal, plus
accrued interest thereon, by the Maturity Date. Maker shall have the right to
prepay all or any part of this KTTT Note at any time without penalty or premium
provided any partial payment is at least $10,000 or an even multiple thereof,
but any such prepayment shall be applied to the installments of principal due
hereunder in the inverse order of maturity.
4. Interest Rate. The Interest Rate means, as to each Advance, an interest
rate equal to the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. (or any successor
Bank) plus two percent (2%), per annum, in place at the time of the advance,
fixed as of the first business day of each calendar month.
-1-
Interest at the foregoing rate shall accrue and be compounded monthly and shall
be payable solely from the Collateral as provided in Gaming Consulting
Agreement. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on
the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. It is intended that the rate of
interest hereon shall never exceed the maximum rate, if any, which may be
legally charged on the Business Improvements Loan evidenced by the KTTT Note
("Maximum Rate"), and if the provisions for interest contained in this KTTT Note
would result in a rate higher than the Maximum Rate, interest shall nevertheless
be limited to the Maximum Rate and any amounts which may be paid toward interest
in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of principal,
or, at the lawfully exercised option of the Lender, returned to Maker.
5. Record of Amounts Owed. Maker hereby authorizes Lender to record on its
books and on Schedule A attached hereto all Advances made to the Maker and all
payments of principal amounts in respect of such Advances, which shall be
presumptive evidence as to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances;
provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any
Advance or payments shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
Maker.
6. Default; Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs in the payment of
any principal, interest or any other sums when due hereunder, or in the
performance of any covenant or agreement hereunder, and such default continues
beyond any applicable notice, grace and/or cure period, then the outstanding
principal amount of the Business Improvements Loan, any interest accrued thereon
from time to time, and any other sums then remaining unpaid hereunder, at the
option of the holder hereof and without notice, shall become immediately due and
payable and Lender may exercise any other rights or remedies available under the
Gaming Consulting Agreement or applicable law. Failure to exercise any such
option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at a
later time or in the event of any subsequent default. The following shall
constitute "Events of Default" for purposes of this KTTT Note:
(a) Failure by Maker to make timely payments of any of the installments of
principal, interest or other amounts due hereunder, which is not cured

part of Maker's property or for the winding up or liquidation of
Maker's affairs and

under any such law; or shall consent to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or of any
substantial part of the Maker's property; or shall make any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or shall take any action in
furtherance of any of the foregoing; or
